This report discusses the results of a study which investigated several alternatives for turbine fuels, which are being considered for use in the near term, with the intent of identifying the necessary certification criteria. The fuels investigated include Jet-A/ethanol blends, Jet-A/methanol blends, JP-4/ethanol blends, and neat ethanol. The tests were conducted using a T-63 turboshaft engine, which was mounted on the Technical Center's dynamometer. The use of dual fuel systems was also considered. A short series of flight tests was conducted with a T-34, Mentor aircraft. These tests were used to identify the operating conditions which might result in elevated fuel temperature. Keywords: Jet engine fuels; Blending/mixing; Ethanol fuels; Methanol fuels; Turboshaft engines; Aviation fuels. (edc)
